Experience luxury rail travel at its
very best aboard the Northern Belle train

I can’t put into words how fantastic a day we had from the moment we were on board. From the sumptuous, luxurious surroundings to the mouth-watering food and drink, the beautiful scenery and most importantly the friendly, courteous and attentive and hardworking staff who made us feel so special. It was an experience of a lifetime.

Mrs Macdonald

The whole experience has been excellent, from booking through to the trip itself. On board staff were friendly and attentive without being over bearing. We will certainly be travelling again and have already recommended it to two friends who will be booking also. Food, staff the whole experience was excellent.

Mr James

I booked this trip as a surprise for my parents. My Dad used to work on the railway and never dreamed he would be travelling on the Northern Belle in his lifetime. This was literally a dream come true. I hadn't seen him and mum so happy for years. Thank you to all involved for making the day so special.

Mr Jackson

Thank you for a wonderful trip. As always the staff attentive and all our needs were catered for. The entertainment was excellent and nice to be welcomed back. Keep up the excellent service.

Miss Blenkinsop

I had the most wonderful experience and I would like to particularly thank the staff for making mum and I feel like royalty for the day. It was certainly a day to remember and we will be returning sometime for another trip. We have recommended to so many of our friends

Everything is out of this world - everyone is so lovely from the initial contact at the booking line through to everyone on the train. A truly magical experience

Mrs Lewis

The quality of the service on the train was impeccable as usual with the staff well informed, polite and helpful. The food was tasty, hot and decent sized portions and well presented. The carriages are stylish and very clean. The distancing and cleanliness practices were well thought out but not obtrusive. We will be travelling with Northern Belle again.

What an amazing day. We have just returned from a day trip to torquay from Swansea on the Northern Belle (Belvoir carriage). We were in the absolutely amazing, attentive hands of Paul, Georgina and Thomas and of course the wonderful chef and the lovely lady, who kept our carriage sterile and clean. Everything about the trip and our food was outstanding. We are already planning another trip in the very near future. Thank you to all involved.

Well... what a fantastic experience. From the moment we stepped on board to when we left early evening we were treated to one of the most memorable days ever. The staff were most friendly, helpful and welcoming, the food was 'out of this world' and the train interior was luxurious. In our opinion this was worth every penny and we would definitely consider doing something like this again

PERFECT. As an Office Manager that is involved in events and manage expectation - basically a control freak - from the actual booking, menu changes and the actual day could not have been any better. Clearly you have done this before as being welcomed by name to our seats and the waiting staff were so kind and nothing was too much trouble - we had Barry - was such a good laugh and I even got a hug from him - we certainly seemed to hit it off. Please don't change a thing - now what else can I celebrate?!

Life should always be this way! A birthday gift from my son - York to Edinburgh on the Northern Belle. How lucky am I!! From receiving the tickets in a beautiful holder with information to alighting back in York the experience was simply delightful.

Ladies Day at Royal Ascot - Just a fantastic day out - the service food and entertainment on the train was excellent. Can not recommend enough!

Travelled with a friend from Leicester for afternoon tea aboard Chatsworth carriage. Service was excellent both in our carriage and in the lovely little shop. Food was delicious and served at a leisurely pace so we never felt rushed and we were able to enjoy the changing views as we travelled. We had a fabulous day out and look forward to travelling again soon!
